Hotel Silberstein

Hotel Silberstein is located in Puerto Ayora on the Island of Santa Cruz, five minutes walk to Charles Darwin Scientific Station and 50 Mts. to the sea.

Coming by air from Quito or Guayaquil to Baltra Island airport, the passengers will take the bus to Itabaca Channel which is crossed by a ferry to the north of Santa Cruz Island.

Travelling by bus from north to south you will observe within 42 km. seven different types of micro climates which extend from the sea level up to the highlands reaching interesting desert-like places, wet regions, and finally reaching Puerto Ayora and Hotel Silberstein.

At the beginning of the 20th century, members of the Angermeyer family arrived on the islands and established the Residential Hotel Angermeyer. Surrounded by a beautiful garden it was an information centre for tourists willing to get to learn about the secrets of the Enchanted Islands.

The new owners, Werner Silberstein and his wife Gabriele, of German origin, kept the name of Hotel Angermeyer for some time, maintaining the traditional hospitality with modern service, ready to provide you accommodation with full board at a high standard in a natural paradise. Today the hotel is named Hotel Silberstein and continues giving you the possibility to explore the precious treasures of the Galapagos Islands in different ways. It will surely be a unique experience to be overwhelmed by the jewels of the underwater world or to visit the different islands on a cruise. You will have the possibility to spend perfect holidays in which you can both explore the beauty of this natural paradise and stay in the unique Hotel Silberstein.
